The Dodge Charger is one of the American timeless classics that is no longer American if we talk about the place where the car is assembled.
Birth of the Charger
The first Dodge Charger was made in 1964 as a show car. The first production Charger, based on the Dodge Coronet, was introduced as a 1966 model.
Although the Charger name is associated with the late-1960s performance model in the Dodge range, it was also used on personal luxury coupes during the late-1970s and on front-wheel drive subcompact hatchbacks during the 1980s. All of them were assembled across the United States, from Detroit to California.
The three main iterations of Dodge Chargers were a mid-size (B-body) two-door car (1966–78), a subcompact car (1983–87), and the (LX and LD) full-size platform four-door sedans built since 2005 at Brampton Assembly in Canada.
Brampton Assembly
Brampton Assembly is an automobile factory located in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. It was built 30 years ago by American Motors Corporation (AMC) for US$260 million and acquired by Chrysler with the purchase of AMC in August 1987.
Production of the all-new Dodge Charger was launched in early 2005.
The present assembly line at Brampton Assembly includes Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Chrysler 300.
In 2015, the total production of cars at Brampton Assembly exceeded 250,000. It was the most productive year since 2009 when the Chrysler went bankrupt.
2016 Dodge Charger
With MSRP starting at $27,995, the 2016 Dodge Charger is one of the most affordable full-size sedans in the United States. Its bad-boy attitude (or, conversely, the good-boy attitude, if we talk about the 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit police car) and the powerful engine are incomparable with other cars in its class.
